Ok, I’m prepared to admit that I’m a child cunningly disguised as an adult, so what’s the crack with switching street lights off? Obviously you need to flood out the light sensor, but what sort of time and output are we talking here? Please also bare in mind I’m in the UK, so our light settings (the street lights, not the torches) maybe different so what output am I looking for, I gave the lights outside our house a couple of minutes with a c8 q5 (no tail cap readings yet) and I have a 2.8a xm-l waiting at the post office, should this do it?
The c8 did seem to suprise a dog walker on the park at the end of our road, 100 yards max i’d say, so I’m still impressed with the little bugger, just need to lose the stupid blinkys that seem to show up every other button push……
Yeah, it’s kinda fun being able to turn them off. Right now I think only my HD2010 has a concentrated enough beam to overload the light sensor into thinking its daylight. Only takes a couple seconds.
I can turn off the lights around my area, with my XML throwers, and TR-J12. But the lamps are small body and the sensor stands up tall out of the top, and I can shine light directly at it if I stand back a little and create a straight line of site between the sensor and my light. I haven’t tried it with my smaller XRE lights (~225Lumens)
I was rather thinking of “Your flashlight is bigger then mine, I might have to confiscate it, sir.”.
Actually I was writing this as joke but as I think my uncle told me last time sh like that really happens. Cop wanted to take away his light because it was’t legal (bullsh, it was a TJ12 or something), was serious about it till my uncle asked him which station is his so he can pick it up from his supervisor. Angry cop said something like “Here’s your light” and drove off. WTH is going on in LA?!…
I here a lot of LPF members using lasers to turn off street lights
My StanleyHID could do it, but if anyone was down range it’d ruin there day
I’ve heard of police here confiscating anything that you migh be up to shananagans with, but rather than fill out the paperwork they’ll throw it away (maybe keep it if it’s useful or Awesome)
I’m afraid it’s not only LA and USA it’s more or less global phenomenon. Whole world is going bezerk.
For example, judge from our regional court released a man that murdered his wife (in degree one circumstances) to defend himself from freedom without bail or even document seizure !!! Whole town is crazy about this. Meanwhile cops are preoccupied with finding tall bushes for speed cameras and harassing ordinary citizens (mainly pensioners as they are easy pray) for driving a bicycle at snail speed in pedestrian zone or outside marked lanes. fucked
